Berberé Stew (Ethiopian Lentil Stew)

Recipe By: Susan Voisin

I found this, along with some other fat-free recipes, at a site that now seems to be defunct. The original recipe was created by the web page’s owner, but I’ve incorporated changes that I’ve made over the years. I love this highly spiced (but not spicy) lentil dish!

Mix lentils with water, garlic, onion, and spices. Cook, uncovered, over medium-low heat, for 20 minutes or until the lentils have softened. Watch carefully and add water if it starts to dry out. Add the tomatoes and heat at least 15 more minutes. Good alone or over whole grains such as brown rice.
